The Zeus wakeboard binding is constructed with the Switch Hinge and a new revolutionary suspension system that is totally concealed allowing for easy entry and zero heel lift. The suspension system allows custom adjustment to the Hinge. The most comfortable and user friendly binding on the market features a new innovation that allows the rider to customize the fit and function. The HLS heel strap holds your ankle back and down. The 6-Plate is 25% lighter, stiffer, and creates a smaller footprint, allowing more stability and board control. An articulated toe wrapped in lycra provides comfort like no other. A new removable toe stiffener allows the rider to customize the firmness, dialing in exactly how much you desire. A fourth upper lace loop is optional for higher end support. The 2009 Zeus is by far the most innovative binding on the market.
